They just like to be petted

I went to Madurai last week, and while I was there, I remembered about a video I hadn’t yet uploaded. So here it is!
Amy’s grandmother, Henny always likes to comment about animals that “Oh, they just like to be petted….” despite her complaining about how they are messy, and take up too much time and [...]

Madhya Pradesh

Amy went to Madhya Pradesh and one of her co-workers took a video of an MFI group meeting. The video itself was pretty unusable because of an extremely unsteady hand. But, the song this group sings to start off their meeting was pretty cool, so I thought I’d use it in the background of [...]

The path towards getting there from here

The Path Towards Getting There From Here is a DWAB song off of the A Very Well-Calculated Lack of Cohesion CD. Amy took this photo of me while I was on the “Toy Train” to Ooty, and I thought that I would have some fun with my Photoshop plugins and make a silly video [...]

Ooty…. Ooh! Tea!

In February, a bunch of the research associates from the Centre for Micro Finance Research piled into trains to slowly make their way to Ooty to behold the scenic lands, get away from the hectic life of research, and generally have something to write about…. This video was made mostly using Picasa’s video option, though [...]

Quiet times on Chennai’s roads

My friend, Martin, really wants me to get a motorcycle while I am living in Chennai, India….
… I think I may be too much of a road wimp to actually go through with it. It’s just that the people here seem to know the boundaries of their vehicles by the centimeter, and they drive so [...]

Can I kiss you now, already?

Today is the 2 year and 5 month anniversary of Amy and my wedding. We got married at a park in Santa Barbara, and this short video was taken by one of our guests.
The song in the background is Etta James’s At Last, and was the song we used for our “first dance.” I thought [...]

A day at the zoo

My cousin, Zoe, came to visit just after Christmas, and one of the things she wanted to do was go to the zoo. I had just gotten my new digital camera, so I tried it out taking some videos too. Then I wanted to play around a bit with some of the effects that could [...]

One day when I get old

Henny tells us the story about how she used to have some home videos. She’d like to watch them again, but one of her children has taken the “aparatus” to view the movies. But, when she gets old (or if she gets hurt on her ski trip that she’s coming back from tonight) she’s going [...]

Videos here and on the way

I recently bought a new digital camera after Amy twisted my arm and made me do so. We were both looking for something small, with quick start-up time, and low shutter-lag. Personally, I was also interested in having the option to create short videos that were of a decent quality. I wasn’t exactly interested in [...]

Josh makes a drink for Christmas

Check out this video to see Josh make Puncha-Crema at Axle’s house for our traditional Christmas drink. For those of you who know me, I don’t drink… with this one exception….
Josh comes over to our house and Axle puts him straight to work mixing the holiday Puncha-crema. He describes the process (even though he can’t [...]
